Frequently Asked Questions
What is the statute of limitations for medical malpractice in Rhode Island?
In Rhode Island, you generally have three years from the date of the injury to file a medical malpractice lawsuit. However, if the injury was not discovered right away, the deadline may be extended to three years from the discovery date, but no more than seven years from the original incident.
Do I need a certificate of merit to file a medical malpractice case in Rhode Island?
Yes, Rhode Island law requires that you submit a certificate of merit with your complaint. This certificate must come from a qualified medical expert who confirms that your case has merit and that the healthcare provider likely breached the standard of care.
What damages can I recover in a Rhode Island medical malpractice case?
You may recover economic damages like medical bills and lost wages, as well as non-economic damages for pain and suffering. Rhode Island caps non-economic damages at 500,000 dollars in most cases, though this cap does not apply if the injury results in catastrophic harm or death.
